appears in the book entitled: Maqaasidul Islam, vol: 12, page: 40 that right from the period of Hazrat Adam
(A.S.) to Eisa (A.S.) one lakh and several thousands prophets had passed than how can the revered
master assume to be prophet, of all creatures? A clear reply to this is found in the holy Quran is that even
all prophets are ummati of the revered master. As Allah the almighty has said in Surah Aal-e-Imran part: 3
Chapter: 9 the first verse:”When Allah obtained concurrence from the prophets on the books and the
effective system and then comes to you the messenger confirming on what you possess, will you believe in
him and help him out? He said: Do you agree with it? They said we agree he said: So be witness to it and I
also stand witness to it.” It is maintained in Mowaaheb that when the noor of revered master, peace be
upon him and the noor of the prophets were created then noor of the revered master (PBUH) was ordered
to behold the noors of the prophets. The noor of the prophets. It was said:”This is noor of Mohammed son
of Abdullah. If you are making belief in him then I shall make you the prophets-“They said:” We confirm our
belief in him and on his prophethood.” He said-“Should I be a witness to it.” They said-: “Yes.” This
amounts to be the surmise of-“When Allah obtained concurrence from the prophets. “Thereafter a
statement of Shaikh Taquiddin Sabki has been quoted in Mowaaheb that-“It proves that all prophets and
their followers are ummat of the revered master, peace be upon him. “In short, neither a prophet is
excluded from being ummati of Hazrat or any ummati. In the book entitled Maqaasidul Islam, vol:12 page:
30 it is mentioned as written by Shaareh Zarquani, may Allah’s blessings be upon him the Abul Shaikh and
Haakim have reported through Ibn-e-Abbas may Allah’s pleasure be upon him that Allah the almighty sent
revelation towards Eisa (A.S.) that he should pronounce his belief is mohammed, peace be upon him and
to proclaim his ummat also to have belief in him because, if there was no Mohammed I would not have
created Adam, neither to paradise nor to the hell. When I created the heaven on water, it began shaking on
which I wrote:” There is no Deity but Allah, Mohammed is Allah’s messenger”- and that made it still
concluded from the book entitled. Bustaan-at-Aarefeen page: 343-a-couplet in person:
“The intrinsic knowledge is like butter and the apparent knowledge is like milk.
Where does there be butter with no milk and where does there be a peer with no peer.”
From discourses of Hazrat Baayezeed Bustami, may Allah’s blessings be upon him-He says: the affairs of
women is better than that of ours, because they perform bath every month to get purged from impurities
and whole of our life we had no fortune to get a purging bath. Allah-o-Akbar. And he (R.A.) said:” Should
the Laa ilaaha Illullaho Mohammedur Rasoolullah. Be correctly pronounced by Bayazeed even in once in
whole of the life then Bayazeed shall have no fear from anybody. From the book entitled: Barakaat-e-Zikr
i.e. Fadhaayel-e-Zikr Urdu, page no. 83, hadeeth no. 6 Hazrat Shaddad (R.A.) says and Hazrat Ibaadah
(R.A.) confirms the anecdote that once we were besides the Hazoor Aqdas peace be upon him. The
revered master, peace be upon him asked, is there any stranger (i.e. non-muslim) in the gathering or nor?
We replied: None. He said close the door. Then he said raise your hand and utter “Laa Ilaaha Illullah-“we
kept our hands raised for a while (and recited the kalima). Then he said’ Al Hamdo Lillah-O Allah! You
have sent me with kalima and promise paradise on this Kalima and you are not violater of promises.
Thereafter the revered master addressed to us saying-“Be happy, Allah has pardoned you all.
The points: - He questioned about strangers perhaps and he had asked to close the door because the
auspicious-self, peace be upon him was perhaps hopeful of happy tiding of these people’s pardoning and
not about rest of the people. By this Hadeeth the Sufis have picked up a plea about the spiritual guides
